You guys just have it in your brain to consume protein, eggs, fruits and vegetables only 🎉❤keep it simple, no added sugars, processed foods and bad oils.
CINNAMON! If you can take a teaspoon a day (I have it in oatmeal every morning), it helps you NOT crave sugar. Also, instead of going cold turkey, try it INCREMENTALLY. I quit having it in tea first (I have 2 cups of tea EVERY day with milk/cream and 2 teaspoons of sugar in each). Just cutting THAT out was difficult... but once I got used to it, everything changed... and my taste/craving changed. But adding the bitter in, REALLY helps! Because often, when we crave sugar, it is actually one of the other flavours that our body needs: Sweet, Salty, Sour, Bitter and Savoury. Good luck!
I went without sugar for over a year. The first time I ate something sweet (a little piece of candy), my body rebelled. My heart pounded and I began to sweat. Made me realize the strength of sugar’s ability to make you crave more despite having just eaten something sweet.
What strategy did you use to quit sugar and for that long? Also did you consume sugar regularly before you stopped it? I'm addicted to sugar and I need to stop but don't know how to beat the cravings. I'm type 2 diabetic so it's very important I learn how to give it up long term.
I second the first question. It's in everything from commercial bread to ketchup. Did you stop buying things with sugars in them or just no added sugar??
Has anybody else ever noticed that when you are emotionally satiated and feel loved and well-connected to others that you no longer have these kind of addictive cravings? I don’t believe any substance or behavior is fundamentally addictive. It’s what we’re missing in our lives that makes it seem that way.
Although there are substances that are inherently physically addictive, what you said about emotions is often true, even of addiction to drugs and other such substances.
So true that’s why it’s called emotional eating which are usually artificial sugar stuff. Emotional depression is usually a disconnection with a person So true
Fermented foods, nuts, seeds, fruits have helped me to cut back on sugar intake. I am now only using sugar in my coffee. I appreciate your in-depth knowledge!
Have you noticed how parents/adults also push/force sugar when a child refuses. Have you seen a baby's reaction to tasting sugar for the first time? they twist up their face, turn away or push the parent's hand away. The adults laugh, then tease the baby and reintroduce the sugar again and again until the baby accepts it. I think this is disgusting.
@@pjj.5649yes! I have been cutting sugar out along with using intermittent fasting and sugar is highly addictive! I learned that our gut biome also, depending on its health will crave sugar so we just eat it to feed that bacteria. Sounds woo woo but wow, doing this and I’ve already lost 12 pounds in a few months which is amazing considering I haven‘t been able to lose a single pound in the last 20 years. If parents didn’t give their kids highly processed/sugary foods, these kids would be so much healthier and likely ward off so many diseases and crazy allergies that pop out of nowhere.
@@thomass28811 John 3: 22 and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.

My joint pain was getting really bad. I could barely walk down stairs my right knee hurt so bad. I changed to an organic, whole food diet with no sugar and all the pain went away. It was truly life changing. So many health markers improved greatly and the mental clarity was off the charts.
Since quitting sugar, my skin came alive, no spot, no marks on my skin, no buffed up eyebags in morning and I look much younger. I sleep much better and far more energy through the day. Belly slimmer with added gym and walking.
@OO9O9 There are two types of salt alternatives. No Salt and Dash. Both of these products are both natural. As well ass very successful. So a natural sugar substitute. Should be both feasible. And quite successful in sales as well!
I'll save you 13 minutes of your life... Eat vegetables, whole grains and unprocessed fruit. Whole Foods. add vinegar to your foods. don't demonize carbs, eat the right carbs, don't use sugar substitutes.
Keto changed my tastes. I went on keto to cure my pre-diabetes, and it did that, in 3 months. But to this day, 5 years later, I am now still sensitive to the sweetness in foods. I can now taste the sweetness in raw walnuts, for instance, whereas before keto, they tasted bitter. After keto I understood why some onions are called sweet. Before keto, I only thought of the raw ones as hot. Before keto, I was enjoying sweet Starbucks coffees and teas every morning (which I believe caused the pre-diabetes). But the other day I took one of my Christmas gift cards and tried one of their new cold hazelnut coffee drinks, and it tasted gross -- like drinking liquid candy.😢 I could only tolerate a sip. I have put it in the fridge & I'm very slowly using it up by using it as a creamer in black coffee. So I agree with everything the good doctor says EXCEPT I don’t think any post-keto sugar spike is going to be a major thing for me. I attribute my permanent change of taste to the keto diet that I was only on for a few months, 5 years ago (Thank you, Dr. Berg!).
@@tracyjones3360 One great way to stop a craving is *brush your teeth* . I could've watched any of the videos that say "watch this & you'll never eat sugar again". I laugh at them all. They do not grasp the level of addctn some of us have to sugar! None of that got me to quit it & I still crave it even now that my digestion issue forced me off gluten & other things full of sugar. It's true, it was easier to quit smokingthan this.
Same thing here. Keto was THEE ONLY METHOD that help me to successfully quit Sugar. I also followed Dr. Berg and he has NEVER discouraged the consumptive of Whole Foods or carbs in the form of fruits & veggies. This isn’t the 1st time I’ve heard this Dr. here on this channel state something that was not true. SMDH
I'd be careful about keeping it in the fridge. It is easy to reach for it, even it tastes vile, when having a bad day, and it changing what you eat gradually back to how it was before keto. I would have just thrown it away entirely.
I have to congratulate you! 40 years of smoking is wild! Glad to hear you made a decision to quit. Cheers to quitting for good! You can do it! Congratulations again
@@antoineaaron3754 giving up smoking was easy, its the carbs that are the hardest to quit. Its still a daily struggle. Everyone around me thinks I'm crazy no doubt, but I press on.
Yep. After quitting nicotine on my own, it scared me when I tried to quit sugar and found myself absolutely helpless. Took me getting professional support with supplements and acupuncture, to quit it successfully.
I have lost over 100lbs and yet I cannot escape my sugar addiction. I have eaten plant-based for almost 3 years and it is still difficult to eliminate snacking on granola bars, cookies and breads. This information is very helpful. WHOLE FOODS ALL 2024!
You really cut to the chase, girl, and call it out. Absolutely right! My Chickasaw grandfather born in 1911 taught us it would weaken us and kill us. He was a bricklayer and more muscular and fit than any young athlete I have ever met through mine or my middle aged son's life. Thank you. We all fall prey in emotionally tough times and need continual reminders like my grandfather's warnings.
Your grandpa warned you all about sugar back in the day? That's wild. He totally knew. Bet you have lots of cool stories from him. You're blessed to know your roots!
Why are people talking about healthcare reform? What good would that do? We need health reform. Make the processed garbage illegal like controlled substances and alcohol
I was looking at the ‘foods’ in a local store and just thought, all these brightly coloured packages, usually at lower level so kids can reach them, so much of it, none of it real food. Very weird
I have been sober five years from an over 20 year heroin addiction. That was so very hard. But now sugar. I find it even more difficult. I struggle daily with my sweet tooth. I’ve just been told I have high cholesterol. I just this week am getting serious about my sugar addiction. It’s really no different than heroin . Great video! Thanks so much for the info. Very helpful
You are an over comer! And you can do it, we need to apply the same tools as quitting heroin. Do. It have it around, do not walk down the isles of the store with the sugar, do not do the things or hang around the places that would trigger you to consume the sugar. I need to think about it the same way I think about alcohol, I quit drinking alcohol but why is sugar so hard? Because it doesn’t ruin your life the way these substances did which was much more impacting both physical, financial, etc. I found that changing the time of day helped me to cut down on sugar. So typically I would eat sugar at night, I changed to eating it after lunch instead, I told myself I can have it but after lunch not after dinner and I don’t want as much, then I changed to I can have the sugar for breakfast and at breakfast time I def don’t want as much sugar which helped me have the “non desire” of sugar. Oddly this has helped a lot.
That's because sugar puts bad microbes in your gut that makes your body rely on carbs instead of ketones. Those microbes communicate with your brain through the vagus nerve telling you to consume more carbs to feed their army of bad vs good.
I am struggling with the same issue. I find that it is much better if I just don’t have it around AND increasing my protein intake each day. I shoot for 140 grams of protein although I haven’t met that goal yet. It does seem to help. Good luck!
Yesss, finally, someone is addressing bitter foods. I am a Latina and who has eaten mostly the American diet. I am huge and addicted to sugar. I went to a Thai restaurant that a fellow co-worker owned and loved it. I started to prepare my own authentic Thai food which includes bitter(sour)/ sweet/ salty/ hot foods in every meal. I started to drop weight quickly and it felt good. I craved vegetables for snacks. My body naturally did not crave sweets at that time. Unfortunately, I landed up in the hospital with an issue unrelated to the diet and went back to the American diet. I need to get back to Thai cooking
I think I unintentionally have made a lifestyle of this. Ever since I had Vietnamese food years ago and fell in love with the flavors. It's satisfying. Espiecally love chili sauce yum
January 30th this year, I quit carbs, sugar, and alcohol. I had a rough 2 weeks. Admitting in the mirror I was a sugar addict daily and knowing my health goals and goals for my family drove me. Still sober, also no carbs or sugar. Definitely no processed oils. I'm the healthiest I've been my whole adult life. Feel half my age. I don't fear pesticides and forever chemicals on fruits and vegetables. Because I don't eat them. Giving up sugar is hard, getting a new view on life is priceless.
@@conorm8 I only consume bacon fat, beef tallow, and butter.... Animal fats. Canola and vegetable oil, I use to oil my power tools only. Olive oil and even coconut oil, cold pressed, is consumed by many on different diets but I have avoided them since January after learning that not all olive oil is actually pure. Some cut their oil with others. I still feel great nearly 5 months in. My sagging skin is tightening from autophagy and after spending at least 1 week in bed a month for roughly 10 years from pain and fatigue... I feel so blessed with vigor, strength, and happiness.
Everyone to choose at their convenience, but I know this because I had seen it with more than one person and it hurts because they’re my family. My brother and niece, followed the Atkin diet, they wanted everyone on it, I refuse can’t it a ball of meat every day, they both have heart problems, my brother has two heart attacks, my husband,boy that this men it’s a meat lover, every day for 26 years this man has eaten meat, today,he has a bad fatty liver diseases, me all my life been stubborn, I eat a variety, portion control it’s always in my mind, avoid red meat, cook with minimal grease,salt no sugar. I still eat sugar very little portions. My opinion is everything in a very control portions and as organic as you can. My sister is completely the opposite of me, she cooks most of her food in the pork fat, she has problems with mitral valves in her heart , diabetes. I goggles everything and read not only from one fountain, but different experts, and mostly eat everything I grow in my garden!!! Good luck.
@@CH-hm8ud Don't blame meat and fat for what carbs have done. Meat only diet heals and clears out blockages. My dad cleared out his blockages with high fat meat heavy diet, low carb almost no veg or fruit.
Doctors are educated and very capable people who are good at calculus obviously... But nearly half of medicine is guesswork. Lol doctors give a different answer to the same question all the time. This is coming from a nurse.
No sugar or carbs and I am no longer a diabetic nor have nerve damage hurting my feet .. I enjoy fermented foods and grass fed meats fruits and vegetables and lots of good fats ..
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on quitting sugar addiction. Very simple logic, presented with facts to back it up. I am a health coach with a life long sugar addiction. I have tried it all. The closest I’ve come to beating the struggle is fiber first! Thank you.🙏
@@judymiller5154wow... and you're quiet rude! Why do you need to shove your point of view ( or lifestyle ) on someone's face like that? You know there are different diets for different people. If you don't agree with what she says just leave a polite comment what works for you. She just made a video ( free no less) with what her knowledge and experience entitled her to. There isn't one way only to give up a bad habit. Some people go cold turkey some taper it off in time. Afterwards some people can take up fruits ( and fiber) and function easily without falling back into the sugar trap. Some people don't so they might stay away from anything sweet for life. It's that simple. No need to patronize everyone here that your way is the only way. Good on you if it works for you.
@@Lotuspriestess sorry to trigger you, Karen. I was responding to her admitted failures. She was NOT recommending any particular diet or program. She specifically claimed "lifelong sugar addiction. I've tried it all." (How can she be coaching anyone else to overcome when she has not herself won the battle?) Apparently you have no experience in 12-step or other addiction recovery programs, but we all learn truth hurts and being nice about this kind of self-harm is harmful in itself. BTW I did not shove anything in anybody's face - I wrote my experience and opinions and anybody is free to read or scroll on. Be an adult. Do better.
I do not eat any sugar or processed foods anymore. But i do like dried figs and dates. Would you advise against eating figs and dates? Do you think they have a high sugar content even though they are Whole Foods?
Thank you! Alcohol, nicotine, and THC were easy to give up, but sugar is everywhere! Even going to health food stores for groceries, we see high carbs in the foods on shelves and in coolers/freezers. Motivation to leave behind processed foods and make the switch to whole foods has been the issue for me, until now. Thank you again for making this information easy to digest, so that my drive and emotions can work together to on the same balanced path. ☯
I decided to quit sugar about 10 years ago. It was easier than I thought. I didn't feel withdrawal symptoms but I'm not an "addictive personality." I don't drink or smoke, don't go to doctors and I don't get vaccinated. I lost a lot of weight, even tho' that was not my reason for quitting sugar. Make up your mind to quit and you will. Accept that your life will change, because it will.
I genuinely don't know anyone who enjoys fresh chocolate chip cookies more than me, and I water mixture of chlorophyll, chia seeds and licorice root has literally killed my sugar appetite without me intentionally trying. That and working out... everyone is different but I'm a very fit person and I've kinda leaned on that and not entirely addressed my sugar addiction... I enjoy the taste of this mixture as it is slightly sweet and chewing the chia seeds stimulates my brain and replaced chewing gum in the gym... not sure if personal mental factors or stresses are factors in this, but I just wanted to share with anyone who may find this tidbit helpful.
@ibchili so at this time I'm drinking two mixtures. I put about a gram of licorice root in half gallon of water as it's own beverage that i drink throughout the day. And the other mixture is the chlorophyll and chia seed... which is about half a dropper full of concentrated chlorophyll and maybe 2-3 grams of chia seed in a whole gallon of water. The chia mixture is for during and post workout.
I’ve been addicted to sugar since I was a child. I tried quitting several times throughout my life, but stopped when I had reverse reactions headache, nausea, pain, etc after tons of research, and realizing how much sugar is detrimental to your health, I decided to quit, suck up the reverse reactions and quit it cold turkey. What I personally did to overcome my sugar addiction was: I threw out everything that would be considered processed sugar. I told my BF do not bring anything in this house for the next 2 to 3 weeks that has sugar in it. I also avoided fruit during this time. The reason I avoided fruit is because after eating a fruit, my sugar addiction was so bad I would crave processed sugar, so temporarily I removed fruit from my diet, I started eating high protein and light vegetables. It was rough all my symptoms exasperated and I felt like I was dying 😂 but three weeks later my sugar addiction was gone. I can now be around tons of chocolate or processed food or 🍩 and not feel the craving of binge eating any of it. I incorporated fruits back into my diet but I do not go overboard with it. I still will enjoy a piece of cake, but it is very rare now and whenever I do eat it, I do not feel the need or desire to binge eat process dessert like I used to. What Doc said about changing your pallet and tastebuds is very accurate, I hated eating vegetables and avoid anything that was considered healthy. I slowly incorporated more vegetables and I wanted to vomit half the time but eventually I noticed my pallet and tastebuds changed overtime. Now I know our crave all the bad sugar and my body tells me whenever I’m eating something bad because I’ll get sick versus Never eat something healthy I feel better and more energetic. Sugar addiction is a form of addiction. It is very hard to overcome. However, you have to do 3 things to quit: motivation, a will to quit and execute (put into action). I’ve noticed since I quit the sugar, I have several positive benefits which are increase energy, decrease joint and muscle pain, increase cognitive performance, and overall better mood. Stay positive. If I can do it you can too!! 🫡🤗
It's all BS. One of the worst things is glyphosate and commercial grains are sprayed heavily. I believe it's the poisons on our food that are causing so many inflammatory problems. A recent study found glyphosate in ALL the breast milk in the study. We are swimming in an ocean of chemical poisons and toxins.
Like so many other things I've come to realize over the past few decades. The devil's in the DETAILS. And most *don't know* or gloss over the details. Oats per se, probably not a problem. Oats THAT ARE GMO or sprayed w/ **glyphosate** before OR after harvest (to dessicate) are probably going to 1. wreck the gut biome & 2. cause leaky gut (small tears in the intestines causing spillage outside the digestive tract and inflammation.) THAT inflammation then opens the door to all kinds of sensitivities, allergies, and subsequent health problems. At this point I'm convinced *completely* that if we get our food right, problems will stop & health will follow. Unfortunately, it appears we would have to grow our own food or have a trusted local source.
People’s bodies respond differently to foods. Some people experience inflammation from oats and others don’t. They can’t be in a generalized statement. Sugar is something that everyone gets inflamed from. We kind of have to know how we respond and go from there.
I eat a WFPB diet, vegetarian for 17 years, vegan for over 15 years. The day I became vegan it was like a light switch. My cravings for salt switched to sugar. I eat many raw vegetables and fruit, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and plant proteins. But I CANNOT go a day without eating something sweet! I will try the vinegar suggestion. Salad dressing made with ACV is delicious!
My health became a proper sh$t storm a few years ago... Chronic Pancreatitis, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Bursitis in my shoulders, chronic fatigue, vertigo, mood swings, hair loss, brain fog, etc , etc , etc. I quit sugar, all grains (except white rice, amaranth and quinoa) and processed foods. I also did a 8 month heavy metal detox (even had my amalgam fillings replaced to nix the mercury). I am HUGELY better today! Energy level is amazing. Inflammation is GREATLY decreased. Brain fog is gone. I'm meeting with a functional medicine doctor in March to see about getting me off of my thyroid hormone meds. Grab your life by the horns and LIVE! Your life is precious! ♥️
@@razzywicks8558 I try to keep things organic, grass fed, cold pressed, free-range, etc. as much as possible. It ain't cheap but it's cheaper than the doctor's bills! I also cut out bad oils (including seed oils) and primarily use avocado oil for cooking and olive oil (for unheated things like salad dressing) and coconut oil. I'll eat baked chicken, hamburger patties, baked turkey breasts (no processed meats like kielbasa, sausage, or lunch meat), eggs, nuts (mostly raw), veggies (no corn, as it's a grain), fruit, basically whole foods. I don't do bread, pasta, cake, cookies, etc. unless it is grain-free, organic, and I can identify and accept the ingredients. No to potatoes, yes to sweet potatoes. I do enjoy a garden-fresh tomato from time-to-time but try to minimize nightshade consumption in general. Ditto dairy. I'll occasionally do plain Greek yogurt with fruit and nuts, but not on a regular basis. I also have occasional "feast days" on special occasions like my birthday, anniversary, Thanksgiving and Christmas where I'll eat whatever the heck I want, lol. Those are fun and yes, I do sometimes FEEL the results of those indulgences, but, personally, I've found those occasional indulgences actually help keep me on track between them because I don't feel deprived AND when they DO make me feel icky afterward, it serves as a good reminder WHY I should be diligent (if that makes sense). I hope that helps!
@@razzywicks8558As a note... There are various grain-free "flours" out there that you can make all kinds of things with. For example, I make four tortillas out of Cassava flour, muffins and crackers out of almond flour, etc. Coconut flour is another option. There are all kinds of UA-cam videos and books out there with really great recipes. I just ordered some angel hair pasta off of Amazon made with nothing more than hearts of palm. I'm looking forward to giving that one a try! 😊
Do you refrigerate your rice for 12-24 hours before you eat it? I just learned of it from Motivational Doc on YT and tried it a few days ago after having so many issues with rice and wow, not only did it completely help the issue with it but it was the best rice my husband and I have ever had.
Is there a happy medium? I believe that cutting back altogether is unrealistic for a long-term lifestyle change. Let's be honest. For most people, food is a communal bonding experience, and unfortunately, sugar is included. Is there a back to bascis approach to smaller portions with sugars being a sometimes food?
This is my thought too. But the more I experiment to find this type of solution, the more it seems like there is possibly no inbetween. It's just so addictive like drugs.. and as we know there's no inbetween with that. I'm still struggling but I have hope for myself and others. My mother advised me the other day that perhaps I needed more motivation and that it could be the fact that big corporations are benefiting from the decline of people's health so that by quitting I will be making a difference!
@@cheche5172 I love that for motivation. Sugar does not need to be added. I am working on reducing the intake until it is completely gone. I'm not a huge sugar fan, but I see your mom's point.
Agreed, that's another reason why I'm feeling like the carnivor (70% meat based diet) is a good catchy diet... "oh the carnivore is coming, make sure to put out some meat (or bring my own food :)"
A semi-keto diet has really helped me with my memory, sugar level drops, and my weight, so I’m happy. I mostly just try to avoid sugar and carbs, but I don’t seek out fats. I don’t avoid them because I’ve already cut sooooo much that is made of carbs and sugar, but I’m not chasing fat down either. It has been such a game changer for the way I feel.
I got off sugar in 2018...and I lasted about a year. But then, I got weak and ate some sugar around Christmas of 2019. After that the craving came back with a vengeance! Since then I do eat sugar, but I don't eat it as much as I used to. I am able to avoid it all day and enjoy a small amount of it after dinner. It was harder to kick than anything else I've been addicted to.
I am about 34 years sober and I remember my first few years of meetings there was always coffee and very often something sweet like cookies, donuts, etc. I for one needed that sugar! After I got sober I eventually gave up sugar when I was diagnosed with diabetes.
I have scoliosis and many spinal surgeries. I was on opiates for 12 years. After my last surgery I got off them in 8 weeks time. I started craving sugars when I started the pain mess. I STILL haven't been able to quit sugar! I am praying 🙏 your videos give me the key to being able to quit.... 😢
Lemon water with mint is super wonderful. I have found finding exchange foods extremely satisfying. My family struggles watching me and they don’t understand I feel so much better. They keep getting me gummy bears. I guess I need to explain it’s like cigarettes, when you quit you quit!! I am finding sugar foods are making me so sick. I got to get everything out of my house. Thank you doctor for this video
My husband and in-laws buy me sugary candy and bread, potatoes, ice cream etc because they think I'm hypochondriac and not pre-diabetic because I don't have insurance and haven't seen a doctor in ten years. They think I just don't want to go to the doctor. I do, for the blood tests!
Susan.. We love adding lemon..lime. A slice of orange to our water...it just goes down nicely and we all need to drink more water. GINGER is absolutely delicious with lemon 🍋 😂
I love lemon water with mint took, especially if I can get loads of ice and have it super cold. I've managed to grow a large bush of mint in my courtyard garden. Unfortunately, I don't have room for a lemon tree (though I'm tempted to get a dwarf lemonade tree when I can afford it). At the moment, lemons are quite expensive- around $1.50 per lemon. I've decided to slice them thickly and put them in the freezer. That way they can double as both a flavour and an ice to keep the drink cooler. If I can't get (or afford) lemons I choice oranges instead.
When I did keto, I simply excluded high carb choices like potatoes, bananas, corn ALL GRAINS, beans, etc. that switch your body over to burning carbs for fuel instead of fats. I did eat vegs like avocado, tomato, olives, zucchini, and fruit like blueberries, and for a treat mixed berries with unsweetened cocoa, coconut oil or heavy cream with stevia for sweetness. Had GREAT results!
That’s also how I eat 90% of the time. I try not to eat anything processed. Homemade Chia pudding with monk fruit sweetener and cinnamon is my go to dessert ….
I am 3:39 into this and she is just repeating and repeating and repeating what we already know. I came here for "The Secret To Quitting Sugar For Good!"
Exactly. I wondered if I missed the secret part. This is about why not to eat it and not to get addicted in the first place, nothing about how to quit that I saw.
CINNAMON. I have it daily in my oatmeal (first meal of the day, with apple, blueberries, nuts, yogurt & raw honey) and NEVER crave sugar (I used to). It cuts cravings and lowers blood sugar levels. (Lots of great, informative comments here, with tips!). Good Luck!!
Nixtamalization actually increases your ability to absorb the nutrients from the corn. Also, you’re saying not to ferment foods to eat vinegar and vinegar is a byproduct of natural fermentation, which is why it taste good.
Just found this video/channel. It has taken me about 8 years to break away myself and started a saga of questioning, to learn and understand EXACTLY every SINGLE point she is making! Thank you, thank you. I KNEW I was onto something, and most people do not like my opinions on sugar or the reasons for their bad health. I refuse to be a dependent or addict. Period.
I think you mean the TYPE of sugar. It's okay to have some fruit as it's surrounded by fibre and other important nutrients. Just don't juice it or have it dehydrated or from tins (sorry to all the preppers out there!). According to some scientists you should only have something sweet (meaning fruit or a small not-too-sugar-filled dessert) 20 minutes AFTER consuming a meal of protein and vegetables. It works even better if you have the vegetables as an entree course, 10-20 minutes before the protein. If has been shown to slow down the sugar spikes in your blood if you eat in this order.
I was listening to T. L. Osborne preach back in the 80's this was the one time I saw him. His sermon was on eat it like God packaged it. I think that is just what you said here.
Great to hear your comment on ‘it’s natural’. When people try to sell me their product with ‘all natural ingredients’ I always think, ‘yeah bitter almonds is natural, so is poison ivy and snake venom’.
Thanks for feeding my mind with healthy information. Now i can feed my body with healthy food. Now I'm excited to share your information with friends. We all need to be healthier as we aged.
Great video. Exactly what I needed. Creamer in my coffee has me in a chokehold. I am ADDICTED. I say I’m addicted to coffee but no I’m addicted to sweet creamers. 🤦🏿♀️ I reallly got to get this under control because the inflammation in my body needs to go. Thanks for this informative video❤
Uuggggh the coffee creamer is going to be my breaking point … I need to quit sugar so SO badly … it’s affecting my health and more importantly, my mood … I don’t even know if I could do it 😩 edited to add fries …
I had the same problem. Last year I quit coffee to get off the creamer. I ended up completely quitting all caffeine. I started on the sugar and quit for 3 months or so, but went back. So now I haven't had any caffeine for over a year, but still addicted to sugar.😢
I’m a nurse and have watched a lot of health videos of late. This one is the most clear, concise and thorough information I have found about sugar. Even though I appreciate the benefits of Keto, I have long felt that it ultimately neglects necessary elements of nutrition while still pushing sugar substitutes which can be just as dangerous as sugar if not more. I really appreciate this video and have shared it on my social media. Thanks!
This was a PHENOMENAL video-packed with information and clear explanations. I learned so much in these 13 minutes. First time here, but I found so much value in this video that I’m subscribing now. Thanks for sharing this information!
Most potato chips are cooked or processed with Canola oil, which reacts with me so I avoid potato chips altogether. Even fish & chips are cooked with Canola oil so I avoid that too. I miss the old days when animal fat was used for cooking which caused no side effects. 😁 Wake up companies who lose business for using toxic Canola oil 😂
@@splash4891 yep, I saw a UA-cam video years ago which showed how canola oil is produced & the heading illustrated it's toxicity even before it's finished process!
@@Oissir I hear ya and the darn stuff is everywhere...I don't trust any processed plant oils except coconut and 100% EVOO, and even then it can still be risky, I only cook w/coconut and I don't heat my EVOO; I prefer to use animal based fats amap...cheers...
Just listened to this and read the comments. Now going to the kitchen to get some chocolate which I wasn’t craving before I saw this and saw all the pics of desserts. 🤣😂☹️😭
Thanks for this video. About a month ago I "quit" sugar and within a couple of weeks I saw a difference. I lost 3% of my weight with no additional exercise, and I'm excited to see what difference it will make in my blood work. Please keep up the helpful messages! I don't really miss sugar itself. I do miss some desserts, but I substitute them with fruit and nut butter.
One more thing. I just came back from the eye doctor, and my eye pressure went down. I'm not saying this will work for everyone, but sugar was killing me. I will continue to be monitored to make sure, but I don't have to take any eye drops!
Thanks for this video. I sweeten some foods with dates. I use the whole date. Sometimes I make date paste if needed. Dates are a whole food and very sweet.
Dates have protein and other minerals as well. Very sweet. They traditionally go well with cucumber, a nut such as an almond/cashew or a little shredded coconut. You should try the fresh refrigerated kind and the dry. There's also a variety of taste and size. Mary ate dates post-birth for example.
Food domination is the root cause of food addiction. Creating food deserts so people are forced to go into town to Walmart instead of buying from farmers markets and roadside vegetable stands is one type of food domination. Contaminating gardening soil with herbicides and selling it in local hardware stores because it contains and the hay cattle eat & is covered in an herbicide with a half-life that lasts for generations, is another way of food domination so that the average person fails at gardening and is left to drive to the store even if it’s 30 miles round-trip like it is for me. Another form of food domination is when wealthy one percent lawmakers who are paid off by lobbyist create laws to make selling produce so prohibitively expensive that small stores like our local dollar stores that are close by, will lose money by selling a small selection of produce because they can’t get licensed and inspected and maintain the certain temperature requirements and washing requirements to sell that produce Laws governing what has to be thrown away, even though it’s still good food because the safety police pretend like it’s going to kill people when that’s just a hyped up lie by the wealthy 1 percent who own & invest in commercial farms… causes a food desert in my area so none of us out here can get to a fresh vegetable unless we drive 30 miles. And to further that food domination the same politicians who are getting paid off by the same lobbyist for these wealthy one percent who own these food industries and don’t want you growing your own food or buying it out in the rural area… are the ones who keep our Social Security at rock-bottom amounts that can’t keep up with the inflation prices so now there is a run on cabbage at Walmart because it’s the only thing we can afford that gives the nutrition we’re craving, even if you hate cabbage, which, thankfully, I love. And Walmart has begun rationing cabbage, and the way they put it out in the bins so that it’s a more fair way for people to obtain cabbage who live remotely instead of putting it all out at one time and everyone buying it all up and there’s no cabbage for when we come into the store. So now there’s a higher likelihood that we may accidentally go into Walmart and there’s still a head of cabbage left to buy, but usually not. And the greedy found out that everyone was circulating the tip that Napa cabbage can substitute for expensive lettuce and has more on it and then you can use the bottom for slaw and the top tastes and crunches just like lettuce for your sandwich… So they raised the price from $3.24 per head to $4.50 per head And now there’s no Napa cabbage to buy for two months that I’ve been to the store. But I can’t go to the store, but once a month because my food costs & gas costs, and other increases have completely eliminated my past budget and altered how I do everything including what I eat and what I can’t eat. So it’s not about hanging out with the wrong people who don’t support your food decisions any longer. That’s the least of the problems anymore. Food domination is coming from every corner of your life now. The wealthy know that nutrition is a huge topic right now that is trending everywhere. They also know that homesteading and gardening and other topics like that are trending. And they want to make every dime they can, and put any competition out of business and shut down any other supply to the people that they may have to get food for free or for little to no cost by growing themselves, or passing it around to each other. The price of seeds is through the roof. Now there are new seed laws that prohibit us from sharing seeds with each other. If they find out that you’re giving away seeds from your plants that you grow in your garden, you can get in trouble now. I can go on and on with how food domination is controlling what Americans eat not food addiction. Food addiction is a secondary symptom of food domination. And food addiction is because the body is so hungry for nutrition that it keeps craving more food but it’s not getting the nutrients that it needs so you’re starving while you’re overweight and you filled with sugar and starches that turn into sugars. And the medical industry loves it. The healthcare industry is so happy to keep this whole thing going that when you get a surgery at the hospital and you’re supposed to have a high fiber diet, you’re not going to get it. Actual oatmeal is impossible because it’s all quick oats, and all the fibers out of it. They give you a plate of cheese and french fries and loaded baked potatoes and bacon and eggs and the whole wheat toast isn’t even real whole wheat. It’s just brown wheat that they’ve colored with dark cane syrup as the sugar to make the yeast activate. And then there’s the whole issue with the government, faking all of the nutrition in frozen, dried and canned foods on nutrition labels. All of the nutrition information on all of our food is based on raw whole food. But everyone knows oxygen and heat diminish nutrition. The other obvious enemy of nutrition… Time. Just because of food won’t go bad in a certain time doesn’t mean it still has the nutritional value that it had when it first was created. So you may get some mixed vegetables and the frozen section and think you doing good if you look on the nutrition label because it’s got fiber and it’s got vitamins and minerals listed. But it’s already been cooked and then it was frozen and it’s been in the air and it’s been sitting out for time and now you’re going to cook it again which destroys most of the fiber that’s left and there are absolutely no vitamins left by the time that you finish. It’s a complete fallacy of nutrition. And that is food domination to make people think they’re getting nutrition and paying for it that they are not getting. And then to blame the people for being food addicts of bad food when the labels tell you that you’re getting good food, and your body is starving and forcing you to keep eating because you’re starving to death for actual nutrition, instead of empty filler and sugars. That’s food domination not food addiction. In critical thinking that is just common sense cause-and-effect logic. The root cause is the culprit not a secondary effect that creates a secondary cause/ effect. Stop food domination, and then we can work on food addiction. But you cannot stop food addiction when people are being dominated to choose what they eat in the way that the wealthy class are abusing their power. Stop supporting corporate America as much as you can. Or as we used to say in the days of hippies… Tune in and drop out. ☮️
@@elizabethcarter1175 and the healthcare industry laughs all the way to the bank. They will never accurately put a food label on anything. And that’s why so many UA-cam creators are doing so well with these videos about spending $25 at dollar tree and eating for a week. And they claim it’s healthy because they’ve looked on the labels. And if you dare comment to let people know that food labels don’t actually contain real food nutrition information, they will delete your comment. They have the public trained to not believe in food deserts because if there’s a general dollar and a dollar tree every 10 miles across the nation then how can there be a food desert, right? But just ask these stores in rural America why they don’t carry any healthy food, especially fresh produce. They just roll their eyes at you like you’re the stupid one. You might try juicing with a masticating juicer to use the fresh produce more efficiently without waste. It’s very healthy. Best of luck! 🍎☮️
I suggest "micro greens" formerly known as sprouting, since we're not getting rid of our overlords anytime soon. Any climate, use a plastic carton from your tomatoes or such, a grow lamp is ten bucks if you lack sunlight. 1 lb. of seeds is not too expensive and it takes about 1 tbsp to have a 16 oz jar full in 6 days or so. It's much more nutritious than the whole vegetable in cases like broccoli sprouts. Full how-tos are on youtube. I know you probably won't see this but for the next person in the same boat...
@@elizabethcarter1175 If you have to order them in large quantities, consider maybe getting things that you can juice or use a blender to make a smoothie with, and then Freeze them. I love Kale spinach and blueberries with any kind of milk, yogurt and or water. I highly recommend adding a quality green powder, and or protein powder. Also kale spinach and beets are great for iron. I used to get powdered beets and blend it with strawberries and non-dairy milk, and a lil honey or dates for sweetness. There’s also plenty of videos here on UA-cam with tips and tricks to keeping produce fresh longer. 🙏🏽
you can freeze small portions. And as long as you defrost in the fridge, you can refreeze. I do that all the time, with sale items I've stocked up on like cheese, butter, fresh ginger (bc I never use it all at once - just "shave" some off the frozen hunk, works great) cooked vegs and other dishes, and homemade cat food. @@elizabethcarter1175
I read it all, but a suggestion: learn to make paragraph breaks; it then becomes much easier to read. Food addiction/food domination: it is not an either/or, my friend. These are two sides of the same coin. I agree with pretty much everything else you have said here as nutritional truth and I appreciate it. I am a market gardener who, for reasons of both health and a looking forward to what is coming on the earth, got involved with small scale multi-crop cultivation starting twenty years ago but in the last ten years it developed into a full-time undertaking during the ag season, which is half the year, here in central Canada. My commercial niche is home delivery or farm pick-up of custom orders. During the winter I sell mainly garlic, onions, squashes, beets, carrots, and potatoes out of storage, as well as some products made from what I grow. I decided that since I was doing all this work to grow our own, I had better start making it self-sustaining or even profitable. I have six gardens, two of them no-tills, and a 20x50 commercial style greenhouse. I have also, from the beginning, developed knowledge and skills in the production and keeping of seeds and have a respectable collection. In my tomato section alone there are about 200 varieties. I know the value of whole foods and the effect on our total health and well-being, not only physical, but psychological and spiritual. I continually try to lead my family in the right direction but the power of food domination/addiction is strong. Thanks for your comments. Remember...paragraph breaks!
I have started drinking black coffee no sugar. After the first cup I didn’t like it but I needed to cut my sugar intake. I kept at it. My taste buds have adapted and now I can taste the real flavor of coffee. I like it.
Me: but keto helped me lol. Im so glad she mentioned bitter and sour. I am also glad that she said keep the carbs in its natural unprocessed state. DON'T BLEND IT UP. DONT ADD ANYTHING TO IT and it wont be addictive. Add the umami and sweets and extra stuff to your salad. Add vinegar. I am going to add more fruit and carbs to my diet.
Hey lady. I was sitting by myself when your video popped up. I started watching and now all I want is a big fat slice of cake. 😂😂😂 No but seriously, thank you for your service putting this video out.
You are a gifted communicator! Thank you! I am struggling to further cut down on my sweet evening craving! It is so overwhelming I want a cookie or sweet!
Best explanation I've ever heard. The sour/bitter explanation makes a lot of sense, too. I like that you gave us substitutes to our substitutes. And, thank you for calling out the ketogenic diet as a metabolism DECREASER, contrary to all the gimic commercials with those two fake models.
Thank you for this info.....you know, l understand what you are saying. I am so addicted. But you pointed out that we can eat whole fiberous foods 🥕🍓🍒🍊🍎🍇sweet and bitter 🍏🫑🌶🧄 etc. Thanks again.
I’ve been using Stevia as a sweetener for years. I have in the last two years incorporated Monk fruit also as a sweetener alternative, but you are absolutely right. It doesn’t matter what restaurant you go when you go to the grocery store everything has sugar in it.
Thanks again for this information. I’m so happy to hear that I do not need to cutout sugar from my diet with natural whole foods. I was turned off by the idea that fruits are also bad because of sugar. I am healthy but the extremes that others go to cut off sugar is not my thing. Thanks sharing with the community
Excellent video! Thank you so much 😊 I started the keto diet about 7 weeks ago. I've lost 8 kg so far. I used to have 2 teaspoons of sugar in my coffee 😯 That was the hardest thing to give up! I now take it with 1 teaspoon of stevia. I enjoy that less so I drink much less coffee every day. I don't buy canned/processed food. I cook whole food with fresh veggies, etc. and no seed oil. Olive, avocado or coconut oils. I no longer buy flour, bread, etc. I enjoyed a red wine while cooking and with dinner but there's sugar in that too 😐 so I quit. I do eat fresh fruit as I have some organic fruit trees. Whole food is best for sure but I acknowledge it's easier for me being retired with pkenty of time, than say people/parents working full time. Been there and done that. We've been so conditioned to buy ready to eat meals, etc. which is not healthy. We need to go back to the basics of previous generations.
Quit smoking 20 years ago. Quit caffeine a year ago, quit alcohol three months ago and my sweet tooth went off the charts. Just started on limiting sugars and good grief it’s absolutely everywhere. Not finding it that difficult other than it’s in every product one can think of. Great video. Tx
You just reminded me that my sweet tooth SPIKED 7 years ago when I quit drinking and it’s still on a rampage! I’m desperate to break it! It’s killing me.

@@Escapeofthebride777 you gotta focus on your core, it's inspiring, walking. Dont do situps. If you have any questions about food I'll try. I get this stevia extract but its pure stevia in ingredients, start small. Gotta get enough plant based fiber
@@Escapeofthebride777 I made it four days. Time to clamp down again. This time I am just going to slowly eliminate things. Like Resees peanut butter cups. Maybe one thing at a time. It’s not like drinking. It’s everywhere everyday and in every food.
Same boat as you with quitting alcohol and sugar cravings off the charts. I am depending on diet sodas in the evening to replace both cravings (I am an alcoholic) which has really helped. I know that artificial sugar is not the long term answer, but it is the lesser of three evils! I cannot even imagine quitting coffee at this point. Bless you!
I didn’t have a sweet tooth so when quit refined sugar I had a headache for a few days but no cravings or other symptoms. My energy levelled out after a couple of weeks. The best thing I have done for myself in a while. My taste buds have changed, I enjoy fruit more and eat dates once or twice a week.
This is an excellent, straightforward video. Lots of information simply explained. There's no excuse for not knowing what to do. The whole sugar epidemic is a nightmare.
So awesome and so true. I quit sugar 2 years ago w/o some of your knowledge tips here and it was sooo difficult. I already had a farm to table diet, my own farm. Now if I eat a small square of dark sugared chocolate my tongue burns! I grow cacao and it’s not bad.. still find myself craving pie and pizza.. but my hair and skin are pretty again! Sleep well too. Support to you who are getting off this addiction ♥️! Once in a while I have a shot glass of fresh pineapple juice.. it’s awesome I don’t drink😄 alcohol.
Hi Doc, I think it's confusing at 11:27 during the part where you mentioned when we are pickling, we are adding salt, sugar and then the next sentence you say and so that is why yoghurts have more sugar than ice cream. These two sentences don't relate. First sentence is about fermenting something at home. But you used the word pickling. Pickling is not fermenting. We do not add sugar during fermenting. Then the second sentence about yoghurt, you are referring to the commercial yoghurt by big companies that are often laced with processed sugary fruits and or artificial flavors. But because of the way the sentences are all within the context of homemade fermentation, it seemed like you are saying by fermenting something at home, say yoghurt, is prone to making us add sugar in it because by nature, yoghurt is sour. Homemade yoghurt is really not sour at all. In fact it's rather sweet and not like any of the commercial ones. Normally a person who chooses to make their own yoghurt at home do this primarily to avoid buying big brand yoghurts that are indeed laced with too much sugar. We don't do this because it's fun to do, we do this because we do not want all that sugar. So talking about pickling and then jumping into yoghurt within the same context doesn't make sense at all.
I think she’s probably targeting the people who are prone to having the sugar problems, which are those who eat sugary yogurts, etc. But I see your point. That said, there is nothing better in this world than dipping a raw apple into plain Greek yogurt for dessert and especially if you put walnut halves on each bite. 😂

You guys just have it in your brain to consume protein, eggs, fruits and vegetables only 🎉❤keep it simple, no added sugars, processed foods and bad oils.
CINNAMON! If you can take a teaspoon a day (I have it in oatmeal every morning), it helps you NOT crave sugar. Also, instead of going cold turkey, try it INCREMENTALLY. I quit having it in tea first (I have 2 cups of tea EVERY day with milk/cream and 2 teaspoons of sugar in each). Just cutting THAT out was difficult... but once I got used to it, everything changed... and my taste/craving changed. But adding the bitter in, REALLY helps! Because often, when we crave sugar, it is actually one of the other flavours that our body needs: Sweet, Salty, Sour, Bitter and Savoury.
Good luck!

What strategy did you use to quit sugar and for that long? Also did you consume sugar regularly before you stopped it? I'm addicted to sugar and I need to stop but don't know how to beat the cravings. I'm type 2 diabetic so it's very important I learn how to give it up long term.

Has anybody else ever noticed that when you are emotionally satiated and feel loved and well-connected to others that you no longer have these kind of addictive cravings?
I don’t believe any substance or behavior is fundamentally addictive. It’s what we’re missing in our lives that makes it seem that way.
Although there are substances that are inherently physically addictive, what you said about emotions is often true, even of addiction to drugs and other such substances.
You should read up on neurobiology and the effects of addictive substances on the brain before you share your "hunch" or "beliefs".

Keto changed my tastes. I went on keto to cure my pre-diabetes, and it did that, in 3 months. But to this day, 5 years later, I am now still sensitive to the sweetness in foods.
I can now taste the sweetness in raw walnuts, for instance, whereas before keto, they tasted bitter. After keto I understood why some onions are called sweet. Before keto, I only thought of the raw ones as hot.
Before keto, I was enjoying sweet Starbucks coffees and teas every morning (which I believe caused the pre-diabetes). But the other day I took one of my Christmas gift cards and tried one of their new cold hazelnut coffee drinks, and it tasted gross -- like drinking liquid candy.😢 I could only tolerate a sip. I have put it in the fridge & I'm very slowly using it up by using it as a creamer in black coffee.
So I agree with everything the good doctor says EXCEPT I don’t think any post-keto sugar spike is going to be a major thing for me.
I attribute my permanent change of taste to the keto diet that I was only on for a few months, 5 years ago (Thank you, Dr. Berg!).

You really cut to the chase, girl, and call it out. Absolutely right! My Chickasaw grandfather born in 1911 taught us it would weaken us and kill us. He was a bricklayer and more muscular and fit than any young athlete I have ever met through mine or my middle aged son's life. Thank you. We all fall prey in emotionally tough times and need continual reminders like my grandfather's warnings.
Your grandpa warned you all about sugar back in the day? That's wild. He totally knew. Bet you have lots of cool stories from him. You're blessed to know your roots!

90% of "foods" in our grocery stores is junk food. Row after row of crap.
Right?!?!? If you look 'energetically' at all the boxes, packages and tins, you think "WTF??? WHY are people buying this junk?"
Why are people talking about healthcare reform? What good would that do? We need health reform. Make the processed garbage illegal like controlled substances and alcohol
@@vester7457" From your lips to God's ear."
I was looking at the ‘foods’ in a local store and just thought, all these brightly coloured packages, usually at lower level so kids can reach them, so much of it, none of it real food. Very weird
@@alkahinat4558 Yes...the advertising industry has been doing this for decades and decades.
I have been sober five years from an over 20 year heroin addiction. That was so very hard. But now sugar. I find it even more difficult. I struggle daily with my sweet tooth. I’ve just been told I have high cholesterol. I just this week am getting serious about my sugar addiction. It’s really no different than heroin . Great video! Thanks so much for the info. Very helpful
You are an over comer! And you can do it, we need to apply the same tools as quitting heroin. Do. It have it around, do not walk down the isles of the store with the sugar, do not do the things or hang around the places that would trigger you to consume the sugar.
I need to think about it the same way I think about alcohol, I quit drinking alcohol but why is sugar so hard? Because it doesn’t ruin your life the way these substances did which was much more impacting both physical, financial, etc. I found that changing the time of day helped me to cut down on sugar. So typically I would eat sugar at night, I changed to eating it after lunch instead, I told myself I can have it but after lunch not after dinner and I don’t want as much, then I changed to I can have the sugar for breakfast and at breakfast time I def don’t want as much sugar which helped me have the “non desire” of sugar. Oddly this has helped a lot.
Don’t *** have it around
That's because sugar puts bad microbes in your gut that makes your body rely on carbs instead of ketones. Those microbes communicate with your brain through the vagus nerve telling you to consume more carbs to feed their army of bad vs good.
I am struggling with the same issue. I find that it is much better if I just don’t have it around AND increasing my protein intake each day. I shoot for 140 grams of protein although I haven’t met that goal yet. It does seem to help. Good luck!
Me too. I’m still on methadone but been off the dope for 10 years. Sugar is so hard to quit. Ugh.
Yesss, finally, someone is addressing bitter foods. I am a Latina and who has eaten mostly the American diet. I am huge and addicted to sugar. I went to a Thai restaurant that a fellow co-worker owned and loved it. I started to prepare my own authentic Thai food which includes bitter(sour)/ sweet/ salty/ hot foods in every meal. I started to drop weight quickly and it felt good. I craved vegetables for snacks. My body naturally did not crave sweets at that time. Unfortunately, I landed up in the hospital with an issue unrelated to the diet and went back to the American diet. I need to get back to Thai cooking
Thai food is so delicious! However they use lots of coconut milk. I substitute that with a nut/water puree.
..Can you recommend which nut water puree you use? I have issues with lectins. TIA. I value all the great information you provide. Thank you .⚘
@@Healthyimmunedoc Thanks. Which nuts would be suitable?
Thanks for the tip
I think I unintentionally have made a lifestyle of this. Ever since I had Vietnamese food years ago and fell in love with the flavors. It's satisfying. Espiecally love chili sauce yum

Woah!! Well done!!!
January 30th this year, I quit carbs, sugar, and alcohol. I had a rough 2 weeks. Admitting in the mirror I was a sugar addict daily and knowing my health goals and goals for my family drove me. Still sober, also no carbs or sugar. Definitely no processed oils. I'm the healthiest I've been my whole adult life. Feel half my age. I don't fear pesticides and forever chemicals on fruits and vegetables. Because I don't eat them. Giving up sugar is hard, getting a new view on life is priceless.
Good luck and keep up the good work. Sugar addiction is no joke
What do you eat?
@@reneesuter7884 I eat meat and animal products mostly. So meat, salt, coffee, water, and limited dairy since January 30th. My blood work is great.
@@conorm8 I only consume bacon fat, beef tallow, and butter.... Animal fats. Canola and vegetable oil, I use to oil my power tools only. Olive oil and even coconut oil, cold pressed, is consumed by many on different diets but I have avoided them since January after learning that not all olive oil is actually pure. Some cut their oil with others. I still feel great nearly 5 months in. My sagging skin is tightening from autophagy and after spending at least 1 week in bed a month for roughly 10 years from pain and fatigue... I feel so blessed with vigor, strength, and happiness.
She connects the dots between addiction and consumption beautifully. Very well done!
you’re saying fat is bad? causes insulin resistance?
from what I have read fat does not spike insulin but does give sustained energy.
Everyone to choose at their convenience, but I know this because I had seen it with more than one person and it hurts because they’re my family. My brother and niece, followed the Atkin diet, they wanted everyone on it, I refuse can’t it a ball of meat every day, they both have heart problems, my brother has two heart attacks, my husband,boy that this men it’s a meat lover, every day for 26 years this man has eaten meat, today,he has a bad fatty liver diseases, me all my life been stubborn, I eat a variety, portion control it’s always in my mind, avoid red meat, cook with minimal grease,salt no sugar. I still eat sugar very little portions. My opinion is everything in a very control portions and as organic as you can. My sister is completely the opposite of me, she cooks most of her food in the pork fat, she has problems with mitral valves in her heart , diabetes. I goggles everything and read not only from one fountain, but different experts, and mostly eat everything I grow in my garden!!! Good luck.
@@CH-hm8ud Don't blame meat and fat for what carbs have done. Meat only diet heals and clears out blockages. My dad cleared out his blockages with high fat meat heavy diet, low carb almost no veg or fruit.

clarification would be good. "Fat" has gotten a bad rap for far too long. @@camilaml2388
Doctors are educated and very capable people who are good at calculus obviously... But nearly half of medicine is guesswork. Lol doctors give a different answer to the same question all the time. This is coming from a nurse.
No sugar or carbs and I am no longer a diabetic nor have nerve damage hurting my feet .. I enjoy fermented foods and grass fed meats fruits and vegetables and lots of good fats ..
For people who do well without carbs there is no "healthy" form of sugars or carbs. And...we do not actually need to eat carbs at all.

This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on quitting sugar addiction. Very simple logic, presented with facts to back it up. I am a health coach with a life long sugar addiction. I have tried it all. The closest I’ve come to beating the struggle is fiber first! Thank you.🙏
Thank you for those kind words! Yes fiber first. Keep the whole fiber matrix and eat whole good quality foods. 😊
@@judymiller5154wow... and you're quiet rude! Why do you need to shove your point of view ( or lifestyle ) on someone's face like that? You know there are different diets for different people. If you don't agree with what she says just leave a polite comment what works for you.
She just made a video ( free no less) with what her knowledge and experience entitled her to. There isn't one way only to give up a bad habit. Some people go cold turkey some taper it off in time.
Afterwards some people can take up fruits ( and fiber) and function easily without falling back into the sugar trap. Some people don't so they might stay away from anything sweet for life. It's that simple. No need to patronize everyone here that your way is the only way. Good on you if it works for you.
@@Lotuspriestess sorry to trigger you, Karen. I was responding to her admitted failures. She was NOT recommending any particular diet or program. She specifically claimed "lifelong sugar addiction. I've tried it all." (How can she be coaching anyone else to overcome when she has not herself won the battle?) Apparently you have no experience in 12-step or other addiction recovery programs, but we all learn truth hurts and being nice about this kind of self-harm is harmful in itself. BTW I did not shove anything in anybody's face - I wrote my experience and opinions and anybody is free to read or scroll on. Be an adult. Do better.

Incorrect. Fermented vegetables are very healthy. Little of the brine is consumed in the final product.
Do you ferment them? My favourites are red cabbage sauerkraut and also carrots.
Yes I love kimchi also. Helps digestion
Thank you! Alcohol, nicotine, and THC were easy to give up, but sugar is everywhere! Even going to health food stores for groceries, we see high carbs in the foods on shelves and in coolers/freezers. Motivation to leave behind processed foods and make the switch to whole foods has been the issue for me, until now. Thank you again for making this information easy to digest, so that my drive and emotions can work together to on the same balanced path. ☯
I decided to quit sugar about 10 years ago. It was easier than I thought. I didn't feel withdrawal symptoms but I'm not an "addictive personality." I don't drink or smoke, don't go to doctors and I don't get vaccinated. I lost a lot of weight, even tho' that was not my reason for quitting sugar. Make up your mind to quit and you will. Accept that your life will change, because it will.
I genuinely don't know anyone who enjoys fresh chocolate chip cookies more than me, and I water mixture of chlorophyll, chia seeds and licorice root has literally killed my sugar appetite without me intentionally trying. That and working out... everyone is different but I'm a very fit person and I've kinda leaned on that and not entirely addressed my sugar addiction... I enjoy the taste of this mixture as it is slightly sweet and chewing the chia seeds stimulates my brain and replaced chewing gum in the gym... not sure if personal mental factors or stresses are factors in this, but I just wanted to share with anyone who may find this tidbit helpful.
Hi, thank you for this insight. I'm intrigued by your concoction. What are the quantities you use in the water, chia seed and licorice root mixture?
@ibchili so at this time I'm drinking two mixtures. I put about a gram of licorice root in half gallon of water as it's own beverage that i drink throughout the day. And the other mixture is the chlorophyll and chia seed... which is about half a dropper full of concentrated chlorophyll and maybe 2-3 grams of chia seed in a whole gallon of water. The chia mixture is for during and post workout.
licorice has a certain kind of bitter-sweetness...good suggestion
@@JaMzNetworkIs that fresh licorice root or dried?
@@ibchili dried licorice root from my local co-op
I’ve been addicted to sugar since I was a child. I tried quitting several times throughout my life, but stopped when I had reverse reactions headache, nausea, pain, etc after tons of research, and realizing how much sugar is detrimental to your health, I decided to quit, suck up the reverse reactions and quit it cold turkey.
What I personally did to overcome my sugar addiction was: I threw out everything that would be considered processed sugar. I told my BF do not bring anything in this house for the next 2 to 3 weeks that has sugar in it. I also avoided fruit during this time. The reason I avoided fruit is because after eating a fruit, my sugar addiction was so bad I would crave processed sugar, so temporarily I removed fruit from my diet, I started eating high protein and light vegetables. It was rough all my symptoms exasperated and I felt like I was dying 😂 but three weeks later my sugar addiction was gone. I can now be around tons of chocolate or processed food or 🍩 and not feel the craving of binge eating any of it. I incorporated fruits back into my diet but I do not go overboard with it. I still will enjoy a piece of cake, but it is very rare now and whenever I do eat it, I do not feel the need or desire to binge eat process dessert like I used to.
What Doc said about changing your pallet and tastebuds is very accurate, I hated eating vegetables and avoid anything that was considered healthy. I slowly incorporated more vegetables and I wanted to vomit half the time but eventually I noticed my pallet and tastebuds changed overtime. Now I know our crave all the bad sugar and my body tells me whenever I’m eating something bad because I’ll get sick versus Never eat something healthy I feel better and more energetic.
Sugar addiction is a form of addiction. It is very hard to overcome. However, you have to do 3 things to quit: motivation, a will to quit and execute (put into action). I’ve noticed since I quit the sugar, I have several positive benefits which are increase energy, decrease joint and muscle pain, increase cognitive performance, and overall better mood. Stay positive. If I can do it you can too!! 🫡🤗
I’m so confused. One doctor says oats are inflammatory. The next doctor says they aren’t. So frustrating!
I dont know if it is, but try buckwheat if u havent
It's all BS. One of the worst things is glyphosate and commercial grains are sprayed heavily. I believe it's the poisons on our food that are causing so many inflammatory problems. A recent study found glyphosate in ALL the breast milk in the study. We are swimming in an ocean of chemical poisons and toxins.
Oats are good, I don’t care what the latest trend is.
Like so many other things I've come to realize over the past few decades. The devil's in the DETAILS. And most *don't know* or gloss over the details.
Oats per se, probably not a problem. Oats THAT ARE GMO or sprayed w/ **glyphosate** before OR after harvest (to dessicate) are probably going to 1. wreck the gut biome & 2. cause leaky gut (small tears in the intestines causing spillage outside the digestive tract and inflammation.)
THAT inflammation then opens the door to all kinds of sensitivities, allergies, and subsequent health problems.
At this point I'm convinced *completely* that if we get our food right, problems will stop & health will follow.
Unfortunately, it appears we would have to grow our own food or have a trusted local source.
People’s bodies respond differently to foods. Some people experience inflammation from oats and others don’t. They can’t be in a generalized statement. Sugar is something that everyone gets inflamed from. We kind of have to know how we respond and go from there.
I eat a WFPB diet, vegetarian for 17 years, vegan for over 15 years. The day I became vegan it was like a light switch. My cravings for salt switched to sugar. I eat many raw vegetables and fruit, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and plant proteins. But I CANNOT go a day without eating something sweet! I will try the vinegar suggestion. Salad dressing made with ACV is delicious!
Vegan propaganda
My health became a proper sh$t storm a few years ago... Chronic Pancreatitis, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Bursitis in my shoulders, chronic fatigue, vertigo, mood swings, hair loss, brain fog, etc , etc , etc.
I quit sugar, all grains (except white rice, amaranth and quinoa) and processed foods. I also did a 8 month heavy metal detox (even had my amalgam fillings replaced to nix the mercury).
I am HUGELY better today! Energy level is amazing. Inflammation is GREATLY decreased. Brain fog is gone.
I'm meeting with a functional medicine doctor in March to see about getting me off of my thyroid hormone meds.
Grab your life by the horns and LIVE! Your life is precious! ♥️
Can I ask what your diet mainly consists of? Sounds like a really clean diet. Glad you had a great turn around in your health!
@@razzywicks8558 I try to keep things organic, grass fed, cold pressed, free-range, etc. as much as possible. It ain't cheap but it's cheaper than the doctor's bills! I also cut out bad oils (including seed oils) and primarily use avocado oil for cooking and olive oil (for unheated things like salad dressing) and coconut oil.
I'll eat baked chicken, hamburger patties, baked turkey breasts (no processed meats like kielbasa, sausage, or lunch meat), eggs, nuts (mostly raw), veggies (no corn, as it's a grain), fruit, basically whole foods.
I don't do bread, pasta, cake, cookies, etc. unless it is grain-free, organic, and I can identify and accept the ingredients. No to potatoes, yes to sweet potatoes. I do enjoy a garden-fresh tomato from time-to-time but try to minimize nightshade consumption in general. Ditto dairy. I'll occasionally do plain Greek yogurt with fruit and nuts, but not on a regular basis.
I also have occasional "feast days" on special occasions like my birthday, anniversary, Thanksgiving and Christmas where I'll eat whatever the heck I want, lol. Those are fun and yes, I do sometimes FEEL the results of those indulgences, but, personally, I've found those occasional indulgences actually help keep me on track between them because I don't feel deprived AND when they DO make me feel icky afterward, it serves as a good reminder WHY I should be diligent (if that makes sense).
I hope that helps!
@@razzywicks8558As a note... There are various grain-free "flours" out there that you can make all kinds of things with. For example, I make four tortillas out of Cassava flour, muffins and crackers out of almond flour, etc. Coconut flour is another option. There are all kinds of UA-cam videos and books out there with really great recipes. I just ordered some angel hair pasta off of Amazon made with nothing more than hearts of palm. I'm looking forward to giving that one a try! 😊
Do you refrigerate your rice for 12-24 hours before you eat it? I just learned of it from Motivational Doc on YT and tried it a few days ago after having so many issues with rice and wow, not only did it completely help the issue with it but it was the best rice my husband and I have ever had.
@@krystalshepherd4582 No, not as a rule, but I generally refrigerate leftover rice. What are the benefits of doing so?
Is there a happy medium? I believe that cutting back altogether is unrealistic for a long-term lifestyle change. Let's be honest. For most people, food is a communal bonding experience, and unfortunately, sugar is included. Is there a back to bascis approach to smaller portions with sugars being a sometimes food?
This is my thought too. But the more I experiment to find this type of solution, the more it seems like there is possibly no inbetween. It's just so addictive like drugs.. and as we know there's no inbetween with that. I'm still struggling but I have hope for myself and others. My mother advised me the other day that perhaps I needed more motivation and that it could be the fact that big corporations are benefiting from the decline of people's health so that by quitting I will be making a difference!
@@cheche5172 I love that for motivation. Sugar does not need to be added. I am working on reducing the intake until it is completely gone. I'm not a huge sugar fan, but I see your mom's point.
Yep, start with a reduction in sugar. Keep telling yourself "I don't need it!"
Agreed, that's another reason why I'm feeling like the carnivor (70% meat based diet) is a good catchy diet... "oh the carnivore is coming, make sure to put out some meat (or bring my own food :)"
Fast. Dense. Clear. No nonsense. Memorable. Great content.
A semi-keto diet has really helped me with my memory, sugar level drops, and my weight, so I’m happy. I mostly just try to avoid sugar and carbs, but I don’t seek out fats. I don’t avoid them because I’ve already cut sooooo much that is made of carbs and sugar, but I’m not chasing fat down either. It has been such a game changer for the way I feel.
I got off sugar in 2018...and I lasted about a year. But then, I got weak and ate some sugar around Christmas of 2019. After that the craving came back with a vengeance! Since then I do eat sugar, but I don't eat it as much as I used to. I am able to avoid it all day and enjoy a small amount of it after dinner.
It was harder to kick than anything else I've been addicted to.
Well, isn't that the life of an adult? Enjoying things in moderation?
I am about 34 years sober and I remember my first few years of meetings there was always coffee and very often something sweet like cookies, donuts, etc. I for one needed that sugar! After I got sober I eventually gave up sugar when I was diagnosed with diabetes.
Right? Coffee and sugar is always available at the meetings!
I love the concepts “Activating Diversion Pathways ” “Fiber Wall” “Positive feedback for addiction” “Original Structure”
I have scoliosis and many spinal surgeries. I was on opiates for 12 years. After my last surgery I got off them in 8 weeks time. I started craving sugars when I started the pain mess. I STILL haven't been able to quit sugar! I am praying 🙏 your videos give me the key to being able to quit.... 😢
I have Scoliosis as well and kicked the pain meds but still working on a sugar addiction!
Lemon water with mint is super wonderful. I have found finding exchange foods extremely satisfying. My family struggles watching me and they don’t understand I feel so much better. They keep getting me gummy bears.
I guess I need to explain it’s like cigarettes, when you quit you quit!!
I am finding sugar foods are making me so sick. I got to get everything out of my house.
Thank you doctor for this video
My husband and in-laws buy me sugary candy and bread, potatoes, ice cream etc because they think I'm hypochondriac and not pre-diabetic because I don't have insurance and haven't seen a doctor in ten years. They think I just don't want to go to the doctor. I do, for the blood tests!
Susan.. We love adding lemon..lime.
A slice of orange to our water...it just goes down nicely and we all need to drink more water. GINGER is absolutely delicious with lemon 🍋 😂
I love lemon water with mint took, especially if I can get loads of ice and have it super cold. I've managed to grow a large bush of mint in my courtyard garden. Unfortunately, I don't have room for a lemon tree (though I'm tempted to get a dwarf lemonade tree when I can afford it). At the moment, lemons are quite expensive- around $1.50 per lemon. I've decided to slice them thickly and put them in the freezer. That way they can double as both a flavour and an ice to keep the drink cooler. If I can't get (or afford) lemons I choice oranges instead.
I'll have to try some ginger. Do you grate it or leave it as a thick slice?@@angelicafreund8551
I couldn’t make it to the end of the video because you displayed every sweet snack in the world ….
I’ve been addicted to sugar since a child. There is only one component that distinguishes from cocaine or sugar. That’s how addictive sugar is.
CINNAMON (helps cut cravings. Take it WITH food). I no longer crave sugar.
When I did keto, I simply excluded high carb choices like potatoes, bananas, corn ALL GRAINS, beans, etc. that switch your body over to burning carbs for fuel instead of fats. I did eat vegs like avocado, tomato, olives, zucchini, and fruit like blueberries, and for a treat mixed berries with unsweetened cocoa, coconut oil or heavy cream with stevia for sweetness. Had GREAT results!
That’s also how I eat 90% of the time. I try not to eat anything processed. Homemade Chia pudding with monk fruit sweetener and cinnamon is my go to dessert ….
Me too

She DID say it: eat natural foods WITH fiber, that is, foods that contain fiber. Stay away from ultra-processed foods.
She gave the answer by 3:58... How impatient can you be??
CINNAMON.
I have it daily in my oatmeal (first meal of the day, with apple, blueberries, nuts, yogurt & raw honey) and NEVER crave sugar (I used to). It cuts cravings and lowers blood sugar levels.

Nixtamalization actually increases your ability to absorb the nutrients from the corn. Also, you’re saying not to ferment foods to eat vinegar and vinegar is a byproduct of natural fermentation, which is why it taste good.
Just found this video/channel.
It has taken me about 8 years to break away myself and started a saga of questioning, to learn and understand EXACTLY every SINGLE point she is making!
Thank you, thank you. I KNEW I was onto something, and most people do not like my opinions on sugar or the reasons for their bad health.
I refuse to be a dependent or addict. Period.
Thank you for explaining the whole situation. It’s not about avoiding sugar, but how to eat it.
This is bad advice
Hmmm????
I think you mean the TYPE of sugar. It's okay to have some fruit as it's surrounded by fibre and other important nutrients. Just don't juice it or have it dehydrated or from tins (sorry to all the preppers out there!). According to some scientists you should only have something sweet (meaning fruit or a small not-too-sugar-filled dessert) 20 minutes AFTER consuming a meal of protein and vegetables. It works even better if you have the vegetables as an entree course, 10-20 minutes before the protein. If has been shown to slow down the sugar spikes in your blood if you eat in this order.
I was listening to T. L. Osborne preach back in the 80's this was the one time I saw him. His sermon was on eat it like God packaged it. I think that is just what you said here.
I’ve never watched him but yes. Eat from the Garden of Eden.
You said all that perfectly, it took me a life time to learn.

Most potato chips are cooked or processed with Canola oil, which reacts with me so I avoid potato chips altogether. Even fish & chips are cooked with Canola oil so I avoid that too. I miss the old days when animal fat was used for cooking which caused no side effects. 😁 Wake up companies who lose business for using toxic Canola oil 😂

One more thing. I just came back from the eye doctor, and my eye pressure went down. I'm not saying this will work for everyone, but sugar was killing me. I will continue to be monitored to make sure, but I don't have to take any eye drops!
Thanks for this video. I sweeten some foods with dates. I use the whole date. Sometimes I make date paste if needed. Dates are a whole food and very sweet.

@@Healthyimmunedocdates are no good for people trying to quit sugar, no dried fruit is ok
Dates are still fabulously sugar.
Dates have protein and other minerals as well. Very sweet. They traditionally go well with cucumber, a nut such as an almond/cashew or a little shredded coconut.
You should try the fresh refrigerated kind and the dry. There's also a variety of taste and size.
Mary ate dates post-birth for example.
Food domination is the root cause of food addiction. Creating food deserts so people are forced to go into town to Walmart instead of buying from farmers markets and roadside vegetable stands is one type of food domination. Contaminating gardening soil with herbicides and selling it in local hardware stores because it contains and the hay cattle eat & is covered in an herbicide with a half-life that lasts for generations, is another way of food domination so that the average person fails at gardening and is left to drive to the store even if it’s 30 miles round-trip like it is for me. Another form of food domination is when wealthy one percent lawmakers who are paid off by lobbyist create laws to make selling produce so prohibitively expensive that small stores like our local dollar stores that are close by, will lose money by selling a small selection of produce because they can’t get licensed and inspected and maintain the certain temperature requirements and washing requirements to sell that produce Laws governing what has to be thrown away, even though it’s still good food because the safety police pretend like it’s going to kill people when that’s just a hyped up lie by the wealthy 1 percent who own & invest in commercial farms… causes a food desert in my area so none of us out here can get to a fresh vegetable unless we drive 30 miles. And to further that food domination the same politicians who are getting paid off by the same lobbyist for these wealthy one percent who own these food industries and don’t want you growing your own food or buying it out in the rural area… are the ones who keep our Social Security at rock-bottom amounts that can’t keep up with the inflation prices so now there is a run on cabbage at Walmart because it’s the only thing we can afford that gives the nutrition we’re craving, even if you hate cabbage, which, thankfully, I love. And Walmart has begun rationing cabbage, and the way they put it out in the bins so that it’s a more fair way for people to obtain cabbage who live remotely instead of putting it all out at one time and everyone buying it all up and there’s no cabbage for when we come into the store. So now there’s a higher likelihood that we may accidentally go into Walmart and there’s still a head of cabbage left to buy, but usually not. And the greedy found out that everyone was circulating the tip that Napa cabbage can substitute for expensive lettuce and has more on it and then you can use the bottom for slaw and the top tastes and crunches just like lettuce for your sandwich… So they raised the price from $3.24 per head to $4.50 per head And now there’s no Napa cabbage to buy for two months that I’ve been to the store. But I can’t go to the store, but once a month because my food costs & gas costs, and other increases have completely eliminated my past budget and altered how I do everything including what I eat and what I can’t eat. So it’s not about hanging out with the wrong people who don’t support your food decisions any longer. That’s the least of the problems anymore. Food domination is coming from every corner of your life now. The wealthy know that nutrition is a huge topic right now that is trending everywhere. They also know that homesteading and gardening and other topics like that are trending. And they want to make every dime they can, and put any competition out of business and shut down any other supply to the people that they may have to get food for free or for little to no cost by growing themselves, or passing it around to each other. The price of seeds is through the roof. Now there are new seed laws that prohibit us from sharing seeds with each other. If they find out that you’re giving away seeds from your plants that you grow in your garden, you can get in trouble now. I can go on and on with how food domination is controlling what Americans eat not food addiction. Food addiction is a secondary symptom of food domination. And food addiction is because the body is so hungry for nutrition that it keeps craving more food but it’s not getting the nutrients that it needs so you’re starving while you’re overweight and you filled with sugar and starches that turn into sugars. And the medical industry loves it. The healthcare industry is so happy to keep this whole thing going that when you get a surgery at the hospital and you’re supposed to have a high fiber diet, you’re not going to get it. Actual oatmeal is impossible because it’s all quick oats, and all the fibers out of it. They give you a plate of cheese and french fries and loaded baked potatoes and bacon and eggs and the whole wheat toast isn’t even real whole wheat. It’s just brown wheat that they’ve colored with dark cane syrup as the sugar to make the yeast activate. And then there’s the whole issue with the government, faking all of the nutrition in frozen, dried and canned foods on nutrition labels. All of the nutrition information on all of our food is based on raw whole food. But everyone knows oxygen and heat diminish nutrition. The other obvious enemy of nutrition… Time. Just because of food won’t go bad in a certain time doesn’t mean it still has the nutritional value that it had when it first was created. So you may get some mixed vegetables and the frozen section and think you doing good if you look on the nutrition label because it’s got fiber and it’s got vitamins and minerals listed. But it’s already been cooked and then it was frozen and it’s been in the air and it’s been sitting out for time and now you’re going to cook it again which destroys most of the fiber that’s left and there are absolutely no vitamins left by the time that you finish. It’s a complete fallacy of nutrition. And that is food domination to make people think they’re getting nutrition and paying for it that they are not getting. And then to blame the people for being food addicts of bad food when the labels tell you that you’re getting good food, and your body is starving and forcing you to keep eating because you’re starving to death for actual nutrition, instead of empty filler and sugars. That’s food domination not food addiction. In critical thinking that is just common sense cause-and-effect logic. The root cause is the culprit not a secondary effect that creates a secondary cause/ effect. Stop food domination, and then we can work on food addiction. But you cannot stop food addiction when people are being dominated to choose what they eat in the way that the wealthy class are abusing their power. Stop supporting corporate America as much as you can. Or as we used to say in the days of hippies… Tune in and drop out. ☮️
@@elizabethcarter1175 and the healthcare industry laughs all the way to the bank. They will never accurately put a food label on anything. And that’s why so many UA-cam creators are doing so well with these videos about spending $25 at dollar tree and eating for a week. And they claim it’s healthy because they’ve looked on the labels. And if you dare comment to let people know that food labels don’t actually contain real food nutrition information, they will delete your comment. They have the public trained to not believe in food deserts because if there’s a general dollar and a dollar tree every 10 miles across the nation then how can there be a food desert, right? But just ask these stores in rural America why they don’t carry any healthy food, especially fresh produce. They just roll their eyes at you like you’re the stupid one. You might try juicing with a masticating juicer to use the fresh produce more efficiently without waste. It’s very healthy. Best of luck! 🍎☮️
I suggest "micro greens" formerly known as sprouting, since we're not getting rid of our overlords anytime soon. Any climate, use a plastic carton from your tomatoes or such, a grow lamp is ten bucks if you lack sunlight. 1 lb. of seeds is not too expensive and it takes about 1 tbsp to have a 16 oz jar full in 6 days or so. It's much more nutritious than the whole vegetable in cases like broccoli sprouts. Full how-tos are on youtube. I know you probably won't see this but for the next person in the same boat...
@@elizabethcarter1175 If you have to order them in large quantities, consider maybe getting things that you can juice or use a blender to make a smoothie with, and then Freeze them. I love Kale spinach and blueberries with any kind of milk, yogurt and or water. I highly recommend adding a quality green powder, and or protein powder. Also kale spinach and beets are great for iron. I used to get powdered beets and blend it with strawberries and non-dairy milk, and a lil honey or dates for sweetness. There’s also plenty of videos here on UA-cam with tips and tricks to keeping produce fresh longer. 🙏🏽
you can freeze small portions. And as long as you defrost in the fridge, you can refreeze. I do that all the time, with sale items I've stocked up on like cheese, butter, fresh ginger (bc I never use it all at once - just "shave" some off the frozen hunk, works great) cooked vegs and other dishes, and homemade cat food. @@elizabethcarter1175
I read it all, but a suggestion: learn to make paragraph breaks; it then becomes much easier to read.
Food addiction/food domination: it is not an either/or, my friend. These are two sides of the same coin.
I agree with pretty much everything else you have said here as nutritional truth and I appreciate it.
I am a market gardener who, for reasons of both health and a looking forward to what is coming on the earth, got involved with small scale multi-crop cultivation starting twenty years ago but in the last ten years it developed into a full-time undertaking during the ag season, which is half the year, here in central Canada. My commercial niche is home delivery or farm pick-up of custom orders. During the winter I sell mainly garlic, onions, squashes, beets, carrots, and potatoes out of storage, as well as some products made from what I grow. I decided that since I was doing all this work to grow our own, I had better start making it self-sustaining or even profitable. I have six gardens, two of them no-tills, and a 20x50 commercial style greenhouse.
I have also, from the beginning, developed knowledge and skills in the production and keeping of seeds and have a respectable collection. In my tomato section alone there are about 200 varieties.
I know the value of whole foods and the effect on our total health and well-being, not only physical, but psychological and spiritual. I continually try to lead my family in the right direction but the power of food domination/addiction is strong.
Thanks for your comments. Remember...paragraph breaks!
I just started buffering sugar lately like you said. I started eating beans or meat etc. before allowing myself to eat sweets.
I have started drinking black coffee no sugar. After the first cup I didn’t like it but I needed to cut my sugar intake. I kept at it. My taste buds have adapted and now I can taste the real flavor of coffee. I like it.
Me: but keto helped me lol. Im so glad she mentioned bitter and sour. I am also glad that she said keep the carbs in its natural unprocessed state. DON'T BLEND IT UP. DONT ADD ANYTHING TO IT and it wont be addictive. Add the umami and sweets and extra stuff to your salad.
Add vinegar. I am going to add more fruit and carbs to my diet.
Hey lady. I was sitting by myself when your video popped up. I started watching and now all I want is a big fat slice of cake. 😂😂😂
No but seriously, thank you for your service putting this video out.
I'm on a clean keto diet, but once every few months I enjoy ice cream. I don't miss sugar in any other form, I never did.
I was on board until the eating a cacao bean instead of chocolate 😂
That was so informative! Thank you!🙏🏾
I was thinking about looking up something about quoting sugar,i didn’t say anything,and this video was on my feed!
You are a gifted communicator! Thank you! I am struggling to further cut down on my sweet evening craving! It is so overwhelming I want a cookie or sweet!
My cravings come in the evening too. We will overcome it!
I read “Sugar Blues” back in the last century. That’s all I needed to inspire me to live sugarless.
Best book!! I tell people this book scared me off sugar while also educating me.
Can you post the link to that book please?
Checking at my Library😊
Oh wow! I read Sugar Blues which was recommended by Dr Neil Nedley. That's how I was able to quit sugar in 2009
Best explanation I've ever heard. The sour/bitter explanation makes a lot of sense, too. I like that you gave us substitutes to our substitutes. And, thank you for calling out the ketogenic diet as a metabolism DECREASER, contrary to all the gimic commercials with those two fake models.
Thank you for this info.....you know, l understand what you are saying. I am so addicted. But you pointed out that we can eat whole fiberous foods 🥕🍓🍒🍊🍎🍇sweet and bitter 🍏🫑🌶🧄 etc. Thanks again.
I’ve been using Stevia as a sweetener for years. I have in the last two years incorporated Monk fruit also as a sweetener alternative, but you are absolutely right. It doesn’t matter what restaurant you go when you go to the grocery store everything has sugar in it.
All the truth; no easy fix... Thanks for wonderful informative video. Wish there were more psychological tactics to beat it
Thanks again for this information. I’m so happy to hear that I do not need to cutout sugar from my diet with natural whole foods. I was turned off by the idea that fruits are also bad because of sugar. I am healthy but the extremes that others go to cut off sugar is not my thing. Thanks sharing with the community
Is it OK to drink Apple Cider Vinegar with water?
Drink it using a straw because it's acidic and bad for teeth
Of course it needs to be diluted!
I didn't think I could luv you more, Doc, but I do ! You are better than
Sugar. Thanks & be Blessed !
Excellent video! Thank you so much 😊 I started the keto diet about 7 weeks ago. I've lost 8 kg so far. I used to have 2 teaspoons of sugar in my coffee 😯 That was the hardest thing to give up! I now take it with 1 teaspoon of stevia. I enjoy that less so I drink much less coffee every day. I don't buy canned/processed food. I cook whole food with fresh veggies, etc. and no seed oil. Olive, avocado or coconut oils. I no longer buy flour, bread, etc. I enjoyed a red wine while cooking and with dinner but there's sugar in that too 😐 so I quit. I do eat fresh fruit as I have some organic fruit trees. Whole food is best for sure but I acknowledge it's easier for me being retired with pkenty of time, than say people/parents working full time. Been there and done that. We've been so conditioned to buy ready to eat meals, etc. which is not healthy. We need to go back to the basics of previous generations.
I love your videos! Thank you for taking the time to make them❤
You are welcome. So nice of you.
Great presentation, thank you. Straight, concise, factual and to the point, well done.
Not concise
Quit smoking 20 years ago. Quit caffeine a year ago, quit alcohol three months ago and my sweet tooth went off the charts. Just started on limiting sugars and good grief it’s absolutely everywhere. Not finding it that difficult other than it’s in every product one can think of. Great video. Tx
You just reminded me that my sweet tooth SPIKED 7 years ago when I quit drinking and it’s still on a rampage! I’m desperate to break it! It’s killing me.
Yes and healthy things are scheduled 1 of no medicinal value, isn't it corrupt lol culture setup to make a person sick and detached, the worst things the norm and promoted the best the most beneficial things kept out of reach or considered bad, the truth will prevail
@@Escapeofthebride777 you gotta focus on your core, it's inspiring, walking. Dont do situps. If you have any questions about food I'll try.
I get this stevia extract but its pure stevia in ingredients, start small. Gotta get enough plant based fiber
@@Escapeofthebride777 I made it four days. Time to clamp down again. This time I am just going to slowly eliminate things. Like Resees peanut butter cups. Maybe one thing at a time. It’s not like drinking. It’s everywhere everyday and in every food.
Same boat as you with quitting alcohol and sugar cravings off the charts. I am depending on diet sodas in the evening to replace both cravings (I am an alcoholic) which has really helped. I know that artificial sugar is not the long term answer, but it is the lesser of three evils! I cannot even imagine quitting coffee at this point. Bless you!
I didn’t have a sweet tooth so when quit refined sugar I had a headache for a few days but no cravings or other symptoms. My energy levelled out after a couple of weeks. The best thing I have done for myself in a while. My taste buds have changed, I enjoy fruit more and eat dates once or twice a week.
This is one of the most balanced and helpful videos ive seen in a while. Thank you for sharing
Best vid on the subject I've seen. Well done.
Thanks for your kind words.
@@Healthyimmunedoc just discovered you. U have a new subscriber!
Excellent video. So well explained, with moments of levity and zingers perfectly inserted. Loved it and am inspired. Thank you!
This video is incredible!! Thank you for this!
Thank you for your kind words.
This is an excellent, straightforward video. Lots of information simply explained. There's no excuse for not knowing what to do. The whole sugar epidemic is a nightmare.
I like to chew on Stevia leaves occasionally. They are so sweet. Also pansy flowers are very sweet.
I already know I should eat whole plants. That’s the thing about sugar. Even when you know it’s unhealthy you crave it until you wind up caving in.
I know how you feel! Eat whole fruit and don’t keep sugar at home. Hard to eat it when you have to go out of your way to get some!
So awesome and so true. I quit sugar 2 years ago w/o some of your knowledge tips here and it was sooo difficult. I already had a farm to table diet, my own farm. Now if I eat a small square of dark sugared chocolate my tongue burns! I grow cacao and it’s not bad.. still find myself craving pie and pizza.. but my hair and skin are pretty again! Sleep well too. Support to you who are getting off this addiction ♥️! Once in a while I have a shot glass of fresh pineapple juice.. it’s awesome I don’t drink😄 alcohol.
Hi Doc, I think it's confusing at 11:27 during the part where you mentioned when we are pickling, we are adding salt, sugar and then the next sentence you say and so that is why yoghurts have more sugar than ice cream. These two sentences don't relate. First sentence is about fermenting something at home. But you used the word pickling. Pickling is not fermenting. We do not add sugar during fermenting. Then the second sentence about yoghurt, you are referring to the commercial yoghurt by big companies that are often laced with processed sugary fruits and or artificial flavors. But because of the way the sentences are all within the context of homemade fermentation, it seemed like you are saying by fermenting something at home, say yoghurt, is prone to making us add sugar in it because by nature, yoghurt is sour. Homemade yoghurt is really not sour at all. In fact it's rather sweet and not like any of the commercial ones. Normally a person who chooses to make their own yoghurt at home do this primarily to avoid buying big brand yoghurts that are indeed laced with too much sugar. We don't do this because it's fun to do, we do this because we do not want all that sugar. So talking about pickling and then jumping into yoghurt within the same context doesn't make sense at all.
I think she’s probably targeting the people who are prone to having the sugar problems, which are those who eat sugary yogurts, etc. But I see your point. That said, there is nothing better in this world than dipping a raw apple into plain Greek yogurt for dessert and especially if you put walnut halves on each bite. 😂
I do that, but after dipping in the yoghurt I dip in ground ceylon cinnamon....gorgeous!@@chelsea_1961
Wow thank you, so informative! This is exactly the video I needed. I’ve tried every diet under the sun to lose weight and nothing works.
Thanks so much. I'm sugar addicted but now believe I can tame that following this advice.
Doc, you make me laugh. "parent got you addicted, parent are literally working for free for the sugar industry"
